The Sea Witch Stole My Voice! Our Two Week Land and Sea Adventure! COMPLETE 4/12

Lessa--I love how you include so many details and tips in your TR!! Thank you!! The island looks beautiful--can't wait to hear more!

I'm glad that you like the info/tips, I am always afraid that I am going to bore people writing in such detail. I include it all though because when I was researching the cruise and reading trip reports there just wasn't that much detail available or included in the reports, in fact many reports on the cruise boards are super short and don't even include pictures! So I'm hoping that I can help some future cruisers out with this report.

The island and the water look gorgeous Lessa !! Waiting for More!!!!!!!

Thanks Rosie, glad that you are reading and enjoying. I bet it is like nothing you have ever seen/read before.

Glad you like the details and info. There is such a HUGE difference between the WDW TR boards and the cruise TR boards. Here people include lots of info and pictures and actually post responses. On the cruises boards only a few reports have pictures and detail and hardly anybody posts/responds. I didn't really like writing over there, the atmosphere here is much nicer.

I couldn't believe that house either, it really annoyed me actually, churches should use their money to do good, not buy big fancy houses in the Caribbean.

Thanks! I only wish that it had been sunny out so the camera could have captured the true colour of the water for you guys.

I agree, that water was beautiful. I can't wait to hear more about your day!!!

I always used to think the pictures of the water you see in the magazines etc. must be photoshopped as I couldn't believe that water could be such a beautiful colour but now I have been on the cruise and seen it for myself, so beautiful!

Wow that water still looks awesome. It looks like Disney did it's homework with the excursion and the ease of going to and from the island. Sounds very organized. Can't wait to hear how it turned out!

Disney actually contracted a local company to run the excursion but yes it ran very smoothly which was much appreciated by us newbie cruisers.

 

[Mysteria]

Can't wait to hear more about the excursion. That "big house" sure looks like a resort of its own.

yeah, i think they mostly have contracted companies do their excursions right? I'm glad things went smoothly.

No kidding, glad to know all those worshipers dollars are going to a good use.

Well, smoothly so far. It wouldn't be a Lessa report unless something goes wrong.

It wouldn't have been too big a pain as I would have still had my passport for id purposes and the day before we left on vacation I had renewed my license so a new card was already in the mail. So I would have been without a license for a few days max. It was the adrenaline of the moment, seeing my license flying through the air, you just start to panic.

I remember reading about this before I left on my cruise. Remember I sneaked over to the Cruise board because I was to impatient to wait till you got your Cruise portion on the WDW TR board? You saved my seapass from going overboard. I grabbed my laynard one nite, when I walked outside, and it just about flew right off.

I agree about the water being a brilliant blue.
Matt was upset with me, that he couldn't go along on the cruise, he told me the one thing he really wants to see is the blue water in the caribbean. I told him when he gets married and goes on his honeymoon, we will all go along with him and then he can see his blue water. He rolled his eyes at me.

When we were in the Cayman Island, which the British own too, we were told rich American's hide their money there, so they don't have to pay taxes, and they buy these homes and only come once or twice a year.



P.S. The boards are going down for the evening at 10:00 p.m. EST.

Well I am glad my misfortune helped you out.

Oh yes, I know all about Cayman bank accounts, wish I was rich enough that I needed one so I could squirrel away my money to avoid paying taxes.

P.S. The boards are going down for the evening at 10:00 p.m. EST.

Hopefully I will be all warm and comfy asleep in my bed by then.

I ended up deleting the "mini" report on the cruise boards as having all the pictures over there was causing my photobucket account to exceed its bandwidth which was really messing up things on this report. So bad luck for those hoping to read ahead.

 

[englishrose47]

Well Lessa I already read it so to bad to sad you others !!!

I started my 2010 PTR !! Lokk for the Hot Italian Grannies !!!!
